Whether you’re planning to sell your home or stay put for a while, a little kitchen TLC is a great way to “freshen up” the most popular room in your home.

Use these tips to help get your kitchen in tip-top shape:

*Freshen up the inside of the refrigerator and prevent mold growth by wiping with a cloth moistened with vinegar.

*A tab of vanilla, lemon or orange extract on a small ball of cotton will keep your refrigerator smelling pleasant.

*Go through kitchen cupboards and get rid of all the items no longer needed.

*While cupboard shelves are empty, wipe them down.

*Use a toothbrush to clean around the faucet and small appliances, such as blenders and coffeemakers.

*Try using white toothpaste and a toothbrush to clean tile grout stains.

Deep clean your stove, but don’t forget about the microwave! Place a wet dishcloth in the center of your microwave for a bout 30 to 40 seconds. This will create stream and loosen any burnt-on mess. Then simply wipe away. (Be careful – the cloth will be very hot.)
